Small intestinal permeability to sugars in patients with atopic eczema.

Absorption of lactulose and mannitol was measured in eleven patients with atopic eczema and lactulose/mannitol excretion ratios were calculated. Mean lactulose absorption was increased in the patients with exzema and their excretion ratios were higher than those of controls. There was no correlation between either eczema extent or severity and the excretion ratio. We conclude that small intestinal passive permeability is increased in some patients with atopic eczema.

Septic arthritis of the wrist.

Twenty-eight patients (two of them children) with septic arthritis of twenty-nine wrists were treated with early surgical drainage, parenteral antibiotics, and early motion after surgical decompression. The etiology was trauma in seventeen patients, and Staphylococcus aureus was the organism that was most commonly recovered on culture. In twenty-two patients (twenty-three wrists) who were followed for six months to nine years there were no recurrences. The results were evaluated in terms of range of motion, grip strength, and subjective complaints of discomfort and disability. Of the ten wrists with a good or excellent result, all had had the arthrotomy within ten hours after diagnosis, and of the thirteen with a fair or poor result, surgery had been delayed for sixteen hours or longer. The long-term results deteriorated in direct proportion to increasing time until treatment and the number of procedures performed.

San Francisco General Hospital nurse-midwifery practice: the first thousand births.

Since its inception in 1975, the staff of the Nurse-Midwifery Service at San Francisco General Hospital has attended the deliveries of over 1,000 women. A description of the service and the outcome statistics are presented. The population of women served is a mixed risk group. It includes all women designated as nurse-midwifery patients, including those at risk who were transferred to tertiary care. Outcome statistics are comparable to those of the obstetrics department in general. Use of alternative labor and delivery practices contributes to good perinatal outcome.
